The first tooth fairy visit...

WOW! I can't believe it... Sam has finally lot her first tooth!

Her 2 bottom BIG teeth came in months ago and have been pushing her little baby teeth forward and forward and forward until they were sooooo wiggly and just barely hanging on.

Scott tied some dental floss to the tooth that was the most loose and gave her an order to 'GET THAT TOOTH OUT'. She whined, she cried, she complained; her fear of the unknown is what kept her from touching that tooth at all. When I had finally had enough of her crying that it was going to hurt or that it was going to bleed I walked over to her and said pull it out right now. She cried some more so I grabbed the floss hanging from her mouth and as she turned her head to get away from me out popped her tooth. In that instance the look of shock of how pain-free that whole ordeal was made it absolutely priceless. Her grin could not get any bigger.

The very generous tooth fairy came and delivered her $5... but this lump sum payout was a one-time thing. The tooth fairy is working on lean mean times and from now on will be paying out in much smaller denominations.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues. Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Juggling it all...
